    ETG test
    I had a n EtG test on the 21 and my last drink was on the 13, but I had been drinking for 2 weeks straight I weight 103 and 5'1, I did drink water and some juices. I wanted to no if there is any chance that I passes the test?

    How about not drinking if you have to pass a test to see if you have been drinking. It's a 100% guaranteed way to pass it.

    Post on a public forum... you HAVE to accept all answers. Particularly since you have no other posts at this site. You aren't allowed to dictate what you can have for answers... if you want to... start your own site.


    Besides... IF you were told to stay away from alcohol... the best answer is stay away from alcohol. That's WHY THEY ARE TESTING YOU AFTER ALL.

    Stay sober and you WILL pass your test. That's the point.

    I hope you get caught if you think you have the right to game the system.

    Gee who's beiing rude now.

    You clearly aren't doing what the court ordered you to do... which is NOT DRINK. What's wrong with doing what you are told to do.

    I figured it'd be better just to answer his/her question than telling them what he/she'll ignore anyway. I've accepted it. You have to understand ukriane, that smoothy still has hope for mankind, and I've just given up on them. So here goes.

    An EtG tests up to 80 hours. Of course, there's some variations depending upon your height/weight/BMI etc. however, 80 hours is give or take, the standard.

    Exactly... ISneezeFunny. Perhaps they will recognize the fact they have an alcohol problem and seek treatment for it before anyone dies or suffers a grave injury as a result. And by their attitude... they haven't accepted responsibility or accepted they in fact have an addiction that needs treated.

    With an 8-day interval there should be no EtG remaining in your system. Metabolism is an ongoing process not one that waits for you to stop drinking. Therefore, the EtG remaining in your system after the last alcohol has been metabolized is the only concern.

    The longest period for elimination of EtG (that I have encountered) was around the 140 hr. mark and involved a patient with kidney and liver damage. Very rare. 80 hours, for heavy drinking, is close. Average 66-72 hours.

    The last drink was one white russian, which from that point I did drink water and cranberry juicy( a whole bottle)?
